[quote=Anonymous]Stop the insanity! I sat in on far too many All Hands! Mandatory Staff Meetings! during Covid and working for the county health department. There were Teams meetings with health *and* public school professionals - all introduced with and actively using their titles of doctor! One memorable call had a retired school administrator (Dr. Smith), a local pediatrician, (Dr. Jones), government epidemiologist (Dr. First Name), staffer with PhD in Emergency Management (Dr. Last Name), a nurse manager with a doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) among others! Highlights included the facilitator gleefully and laboriously using their titles repeatedly! Who’s on first? It was unnecessary, confusing and irrelevant in the above cases to have the non-medical professionals all use their doctor titles. Only doctor missing in above scenario was a college professor. Ridiculous.[/quote]
